Chapter 770: Not a Hero
'Ha? Do you want to end the wars and pandemics, including the chaos on Earth? You will only kill the fun with that boring approach.' Xero frowned.
'The game will come to an end. In three days, all involved parties that failed to heed the direct stern warning are entitled to divine punishment.' Elysia shrugged her shoulders.
'Isn't that fun for you? You can punish selfish and evil humans and also deities. You were bad, but now you are going to do good.' Elena was pretty amused when she saw Xero taking her words so seriously.
'Well...' Xero put his hands in his pockets and turned his head to the side.
Elysia returned to the exclusive room, where Erina was being treated. She found it a bit strange because the corridor leading to the room in question was surprisingly quiet.
"Hello, Sir Ryosei. May I come in?" Elysia raised her hand in greetings.
"???" The doctors were a little surprised. This girl previously disappeared somehow from inside the room, and now she just came like a visitor?
"Sure." One of the burly bodyguards nodded and opened the door. He had no reason to stop this girl either.
"Thank you." When the door was opened, Elysia entered the exclusive treatment room.
"Hm?" Elysia found Erina's grandfather in the living room with the Grandmaster-level doctor. They immediately went silent and stared at her, but she just greeted them with a hand gesture and went over to Erina.
"Hi~ You've been transferred to this room now, Erina-san. How are you feeling now?" Elysia waved her hand with a smile.
"You're back, Elysia-san. I feel fairly good but don't have the strength to move freely." Erina feels happy and relieved that Elysia is back.
"I see. You need at least a day for a full recovery. You'll be back in shape tomorrow." Elysia nodded slightly and turned around, facing Erina's father. "However, you may need at least three, I mean seven days for complete recovery before you can resume your normal activities."
"Yeah, I'm having a hard time moving my hand now. It's like there's no strength left in my body." Kenji raised his hand and tried to make a fist, but his hand still felt weak and fell onto the bed.

"All right, I will keep in mind. I thank you again for your help, Elysia. It might be nice if you could visit our house for dinner, haha..." Kenji laughed dryly.
"Hehe, no need to worry." Elysia waved her hand in front of her face. The last event she visited Erina's house did not give a good impression, so she would avoid visiting for now.
"Hm?" Erina felt restless all of a sudden. She held her lower stomach as if something was going to leak soon.
Elysia noticed that and offered to help. "Is there something? The toilet?"
"Mm, I have to go..." Erina blushed after saying that. She just remembered that she couldn't afford to go alone in her current state.
"If you are willing, I will help you." Elysia smiled in amusement and stretched out her hand.
"Please..." Erina put her hand on Elysia's.
"Please excuse me." Elysia then took Erina away in a princess carry.
The Grandmaster-level doctor was about to say something, but Elysia excused herself and took Erina to the bathroom.
Elysia placed Erina carefully on the flush toilet. She then gave a little help before turning around. "Do you need help with your business, Erina-san?"
"Mm, I think I can do it." Erina meekly nodded.
"Okay, tell me when you're done." Elysia closed the toilet door and waited in the bathroom.
'I came to say goodbye to Erina, but why did I suddenly become a nurse?' Elysia asked in wonder. She tried to ignore the sound of gurgling water behind her.
'That's because you're a good girl. You could have asked one of the female doctors to do this, but you chose to help Erina. Ah~ But what a pity. You usually blushed. Not to mention you gave a little favor to Erina just now, hehe~' Elena chuckled in a teasing tone.
'...' Elysia blushed, but she immediately shook her head. 'Naughty thoughts, bad.'
"Uhm, I'm done." Erina spoke in a mosquito-like voice. She managed to finish her business but couldn't get up on her own yet. She was even only able to lift her panties halfway up...
Elysia went back into the toilet and gave another little help to Erina.
"Um, thank you." Erina whispered as Elysia returned to carry her in a princess carry.
"You're welcome." Elysia replied with a smile.
"Umm, my wounds have healed. Can I take off my bandages now? It would be a bit embarrassing to have them removed in the treatment room." Erina asked for help implicitly, but she looked into Elysia's face as if she wanted to do that.
"Sure. Do you want to take your bandage off here?" Elysia didn't mind that.
Erina meekly nodded in reply. Then, Elysia helped Erina sit on a small stool before taking off the bandages.
"Erina..." Erina spoke in a mosquito-like voice.
"Hmm?" Elysia wondered what Erina wanted to say, but she kept her hands busy removing the bandage on Erina's head.
"Please call me Erina without the honorific. I'll call you Ellie in return." Erina turned her head, looking straight into those beautiful eyes.
"Okay." Elysia agreed without needing to think twice.
"Eh? Mm, thanks, Ellie." Erina didn't expect such an instant response, but she was happy to hear it.
"You and your father can actually go home. The storm is over too. However, it's okay to be here for further treatment." Elysia continued to remove the bandages on Erina's tummy, arms, and legs.
"My grandfather feels uncomfortable because of that senior doctor. Maybe, we will go straight home. Grandfather has already sent people for administration and some other things." Erina lowered her head slightly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh, no wonder why the bodyguards outside are increasing. Did your grandfather decide that as soon as the storm was over?" Elysia checked her surroundings with her advanced perception. She could see Erina's grandfather was annoyed by that Grandmaster-level doctor.
"Okay, we're done. Let's go back." Elysia carried Erina again and returned to the treatment room.
"..." Erina wrapped her arms around Elysia's neck. She accidentally looked at Elysia's angelic face and blushed. Somehow, she could see some inexplicable changes in her friend, but she felt comfortable and safe now.
"So you are Elysia. I've heard a few things about you. Are you a healer with super rare abilities?" Utzuki approached Elysia and asked.
"Who knows? However, I'm not a genuine healer." Elysia put Erina on the bed and answered without even turning her head.
"Is that so? May I know how you healed Minamoto Erina and Minaomoto Kenji? As you know, their situation is too difficult to be healed by human abilities alone, much less in minutes." Utzuki raised the topic that made her so curious. She wouldn't let this girl go until she received an answer.
"Even if you say it's unattainable, that doesn't mean it's impossible. The world is vast, and humans haven't even explored more than twenty percent of the world's entirety." Elysia sat on the chair next to Erina's bed. She looked at the old lady with a subtle smile.
Utzuki glanced at Mitsuzuka in annoyance. This old man didn't give any necessary details and only asked her to ask Elysia directly. "So, what did you do to heal them to near perfection?"
"Why would you ask such a thing? Are you just curious or aiming for something else? A high-level medical expert doesn't share their technique with just anyone. I think you are aware of that code of conduct." Elysia rested her cheek against her hand, pretending to innocently ask back.
"Ugh..." Utzuki felt this girl didn't give her a face because of that kind of response. She was a Grandmaster, and this was the first time she had received such treatment.
However, she swallowed her frustration only to herself and summoned her ultimate reason to know more. "Do you know your abilities can save so many people? A great doctor should be willing to share knowledge for the greater good."
Elysia raised her palm and shook her head. "Let's stop this conversation. You reminded me of what a certain old doctor said to me in the past. You are a top-class doctor, but you didn't take on that role because you wanted to save someone's life like a saint. It's just your job, not an obligation or duty. My apologies, to be frank, but I'm not a hero, and you're not a savior either."
"What the-" Utzuki widened his eyes. She never expected such words to come out of a young girl who was still like a flower bud.
*Clack*
The door opened, and a bodyguard entered with some documents in hand. He gave it to Mitsuzuka right away. "The procedures and administration have been completed. Sir Kenji and Miss Erina can leave the hospital anytime, sir."
"Good, we are going home now. Kenji and Erina are recovering and just need time to fully recover in a peaceful and safe place." Mitsuzuka nodded and gestured to his core bodyguards to help him put his son into a wheelchair.
"Well..." Kenji felt a little embarrassed because he only wore shorts when transferring to a wheelchair. Yet, he couldn't do anything and let his father's bodyguards help him get dressed.
"Are we going home now?" Erina was taken aback. He was surprised that everything was taken care of quickly, almost like they were in a hurry.
"Yes, we are going home now. My apologies, Grandmaster Utzuki... You may be great in your field of expertise, but you are not sensitive enough. Bluntly speaking, you lack in good attitude. Elysia, can you please take care of my granddaughter? We're leaving now." Mitsuzuka pushed his son's wheelchair to the exit while staring at Elysia.
